Getting individual Directory Names in a Path Python 3.5

Say i have a path like this

Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/Folder4/

Doesn't necessarily have to have the final slash. How do i extract just "Folder2".

Using the 'pathlib' module of the standard library:

>>> import pathlib
>>> pathlib.PurePath('Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/Folder4/').parts[1]

you get:

'Folder2'

Or for subdirs paths:

>>> pathlib.PurePath('Folder1/Folder2/Folder3/Folder4/').parents[1]

You get:

PurePosixPath('Folder1/Folder2')
